This ODI research report, authored by Mairi Dupar, Elvina Henriette and Eric Hubbard and dated June 2023, explores the existing and potential role of NBS-GI in disaster risk management and climate change mitigation and adaptation, as well as wider development objectives. The research focuses on the application, financing and efficiency of NBS-GI in African contexts, as well as on the motivations for selecting NBS-GI investments in Africa.

The document explores the role of African Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in climate mitigation and adaptation. It highlights how MSMEs, comprising over 90% of African businesses, can support solutions in energy, agriculture, water, and construction sectors. Despite challenges like access to capital and technology, MSMEs contribute to sustainable practices, such as renewable energy, waste management, and ecosystem restoration, while also addressing climate risks and supporting economic resilience.
